IBM has two faces. Their consultancy arm is the exact opposite of what I would call a good company, even so, they make a good bit of money. The hardware side of the business is still quite impressive, yes, it is too expensive but their power rack boxes are effectively a little mainframe (check the IO stats on those things) and the performance is - I have to admit - impressive. That said I would never buy it because I can get much better value elsewhere. Even so I think they could do this if they really wanted to.
